The Demolitions Project
In the Demolitions project, our research will delve into important issues surrounding demolitions in India, including housing rights, impact on communities, legal frameworks, displacement and development, and the broader socio-political contexts that lead to it. The research will aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of demolitions as a tool to disempower marginalised populations and, more recently, as a form of punitive action against the Muslim community. Through this research, we hope to amplify the voices of affected communities and advocate meaningful interventions.
